Physical show of ...Physical show of love/affection towards each other by adult opposite sexes in public is something that should to be avoided in Qatar for obvious reasons.
If the reason was not obvious, you wouldn't have asked this question.

Why people have such perception towards Qatar..... ...I do not think anybody gives a damn about what you do when you are sure that u r not doing anything wrong.
As far as hugging in public at the airport... nobody will care. But do restrict yourself to hugging only. Check wikipedia about definition of 'HUG". Different country has many different ways of hugging which may be little akward here. Just be decent and life will be good.

A hug and a friendly kiss is not going to be a problem... i'm sure of it.

dohaprice said
if only everything is clear ...in this part of the world, fewer inquiries like this will come. Only individuals of the same gender kissing & hugging in public are normally seen and accepted. otherwise, you will raise most people eyebrows.

Only trolls ask such questions.

...is there anyone jailed because of that? or penalized? .....i don't think it's a huge moral issue. A friendly hug looks different than something lustfully done...hehehe, you have to do the first one.

Rizks.. ...I was glad you picked me up from the airport, but the reason people stared was because you were wearing your bicycle clips on your lungi and you hugged me from behind :o(

Britey ...besides feeling a lotta emotions at that point in time, I bet you felt something else too :-(

brite trolls and attention ...brite trolls and attention seeker...:P
Colt45 said
Umm ...Hugging a person of the opposite sex is not an issue at all if done as a greeting, even in a public place. I see a lot of people hugging each other (even opp sex) as a way of greeting and as long as it's done decently, you won't have a problem.
